Decisions

From Europa Universalis 3 Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This article is accurate for the latest versions of EU3, Napoleon’s Ambition, In Nomine, Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind.

Decisions are another new feature in Europa Universalis III: In Nomine. Like missions, they are a powerful way to help players shape their country; unlike missions, there is more than one decision a player is able to select at a time. Most decisions have major benefits to countries, often making stability cheaper, increasing tax income, or giving free slider moves.

Types

There are three types of decisions: Provincial, Religious, and National. National decisions affect your entire country, religious decisions affect the practice of religion in your country (mainly affecting stability costs and conversions), while provincial decisions affect individual provinces. Many countries will have unique decisions; England/Great Britain, for example, gets a number of naval-related decisions such as "Sing 'Britannia Rules the Waves'", while the Spanish can establish the Spanish Inquisition. One major change from pre-IN versions of EUIII is that all westernisation and unification events are now decisions. You no longer have to wait 50 years or more to unify Germany when you have all the necessary triggers—instead, you need merely select the decision.

Location

National decisions are listed on a new Missions & Decisions tab in the Domestic Management interface, Religious decisions are integrated on the religion tab, while provincial decisions are listed in the provincial information screen, under the button with a scroll and hammer.
